About this song: I Can't Make You Love Me

&quot;I Can't Make You Love Me&quot; is a 1991 popular song, written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin and recorded by Bonnie Raitt on her Luck of the Draw album from that year. According to the I Can't Make You Love Me Songfacts, Reid got the idea for the song from a newspaper article about a guy who got drunk and shot up his girlfriend's car. When the judge sentenced him and asked him what he had learned, he said, &quot;You can't make a woman love you if she don't.&quot;
